Standpoints

Exhibition

Standpoints, curated by Meta Knol, led the visitor through a selection from the Centraal Museum's collection of modern art. The selection demonstrated that over the years artists have been inspired by all manner of everyday, non-artistic motifs and themes. The title Standpoints refers to artists' openness to the world around them, but also to the possibility of defining your own position as an observer of art.

I was one of seven contemporary artists who were invited to add their own topical and personal standpoints in the form of wall paintings that establish a dialogue with the works on display. The theme of my cabinet was melancholy and it featured works by Jan Mankes, the brothers Maris, Theo van Doesburg, Henri Fantin-Latour and others. It turned out a quite romantic, athmospheric and intimate little room.
